About

When I was 14, I built my first computer from spare parts. What started as curiosity about technology grew into a passion for helping businesses use data and AI to solve complex go to market challenges.Today, I’m a Go to Market Engineer at Clay, partnering with RevOps, MDM, Sales, and executive leadership teams to build AI powered GTM systems that help organizations identify, prioritize, and engage the right customers at scale.Prior to Clay, I spent over 4 years at HG Insights. I joined as the company’s first BDR and had the opportunity to help shape the early inbound motion before becoming a founding member of the Strategic Partnerships team. There, I built and scaled relationships across ISVs, SIs, GSIs, and private equity firms, generating more than $1.5M in net new ARR, including helping establish HG’s partnership with MadKudu, which was later acquired by HG Insights.I later transitioned into Strategic Enterprise Sales, where I became the fastest ramping Account Executive in the history of HG’s Strategic segment, achieving 360% of my quarterly quota within my first 60 days.I’m passionate about connecting technology, data, and people to build smarter go to market strategies and scalable revenue engines.
